My first handmade workbench

This is the first workbench I ever made. I finished it about 3 years ago but, I wanted a picture I could upload so I could be like the cool kids. The plans were in Popular Woodworking magazine. I hand cut all of the mortise-and-tenon joints (which convinced me to buy a hollow chisel moritser).

How is the top attached to the base? I am thinking about doing these to replace the old 5’x5’ shop tables in my school shop. This way each year the top could be removed and run through the wide belt sander. Then replaced when needed.

The top is attached with (6) 4” course thread screws through 2” cleats (3 in each cleat). It holds really well. I recently moved into a new house and the movers picked the table up by the tabletop to put it in the moving van and take it out with no problems.
